Clerk of Parliament, Kennedy Chokuda yesterday said the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment had no mandate to summon Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo for a hearing, as it had no oversight role over his ministry.

Chokuda said,

Each committee has a specific mandate and plays an oversight role on specific ministries … so that is a clear issue.
